A Single Case Study Of Ayurvedic Management Of Ankylosing Spondylitis W.S.R. To Amavata

Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of rheumatic disease known as spondyloarthropathies (SpA),  and it has a significant link to the HLA-B27 genetic marker. The involvement of spinal joints,  particularly the sacroiliac joint, is gradual and insidious. Inflammatory back pain and stiffness are  common in the early stages of the disease, but in the later stages of the disease, severe pain and axial  immobility or deformity can occur. In this disease, the lack of a successful biomedical treatment results  in irreversible malformation. In these instances, several Panchakarma procedures and Ayurvedic medications have shown to be beneficial. The therapy includes rigorous dietary restrictions as well as  lifestyle changes. The Ayurvedic method aims to reduce disability while also easing symptoms. Here,  we discuss a case of Amavata that was effectively treated with Ayurvedic medicine.
